Matteo

ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕣 12.

Aria was losing her mind, pacing back and forth in the foyer of her house. She was trying her best to find a way out of the situation she happily agreed. A date with the devil what was she even thinking or better was she even thinking.

Earlier today, when Rose had called her inquire how the wedding preparation was going on She was more than happy to inform her future-mother-in-law that three days weren't enough. Wishing if they could just get a week more to arrange everything, after all it was going to be one of the biggest mafia don's wedding.

Noticing Aria's discress and nervous Rose rushed to help her, taking almost everything off her plate, leaving Aria speechless. And in return she offered her to relax and enjoy a lunch date with her handsome son Matteo to which Aria couldn't even refuse. In short of her lie lead her to Matteo and she was more angry at herself than anyone else. It was her stupid ideas that were leading her to torment. 

'I really need to learn how to keep my mouth shut if I have to survive this arrangement.' Aria reminded herself as she groaned loudly as she flopped onto the nearby couch. She was still regretting agreeing her decision when her cell phone pinged with an incoming text message.

Loverboy: I will be there in 10. Hope you are ready Princess.

Glancing down at the text message her entire body went numb. It has been less than 24 hours since she last saw Matteo. And she could literally hear Matteo's sinful voice telling her that he was going to be there in ten minute PRINCESS.

Oh God ..oh god..oh god..

Aria started to panic as she jumped up and started her pacing march once again. Her last encounter with Matteo didn't go that well and she was hoping that she would only see him at the altar, or even better never. She wasn't scared of anyone but it was mainly because no one ever crossed the line with her. Her father always protected her and if he was absent his soldiers were by her side. Making sure she was far away from any mafia drama. 

Aria exhaled slowly as she tired to compose herself, soothing her racing heart. She was more nervous that scared that she would admit but why even she didn't know why. But either way she rushed upstairs to get dressed and put on her brave face. She was a Masello after all and she could let a small encounter with Matteo scare her.

*******************

Matteo parked his jet black bugatti chiron right outside Masello's  main entrance. Both Aria and Carlos Masello were standing there to welcome him. But his eyes were only trained on Aria. She was wearing knee length deep purple dress along with black pencil heel. She looked so beautiful that he had to force himself to glance at Masello or else he had no idea what he would do. 

After texting Aria that he was coming to pick her up he wondered if he should get her some flowers or something. But his sister solved that issue for him by texting him and telling him that a bouquet of red roses is been delivered to his office courtesy of Angela, for his first ever date. 

Angela knew Matteo didn't date, he didn't have time for love or relationship. He wasn't built that way according to him, but according to Angela everyone has the ability love if they have the ability to hate. It was a weird logic that Matteo never got but he never argued with his sister. She was the hopeless romantic one, one who believed in fairytales and love. Angela believed in a happily ever after while Matteo knew nothing about happiness. In his world pain was the only emotion he was used to.
